How to Enable or Disable Copilot Chat Saving in Windows 11
Want to control whether Windows 11 saves your Copilot chats? Here’s how to turn that feature on or off.
Why use this feature?
Copilot is your AI assistant, designed to help you change settings or ask questions. Copilot saves your conversation history by default. This lets you access past chats on any device where you’re signed in. You might want to turn this off if you value your privacy or prefer that your history is not synced across multiple computers.
What happens when you are done?
Once you change this setting, your chat history will either be saved to your account or stop being recorded. If you turn it off, your previous chats won’t appear on other devices. The “Personalization” setting will also be disabled.
Copilot is a helpful tool that acts like a chatbot. You can open it by clicking its icon or using the Windows key + C shortcut. Recent updates have improved Copilot, making it feel more like a regular app. You can now move and resize its window, and it’s conveniently pinned to your Taskbar for easy access.
How to change your chat saving settings
Follow these steps to adjust your preferences:
- First, open the Copilot app.
- Click your profile picture or the “Sign in” icon at the top right corner of the Copilot window.
- Select Settings from the menu.
- Click on Chat.
On the Chat settings page, you will see a box labeled “Automatically save chats.”
- To turn it on: Check the box .
- To turn it off: Uncheck the box .
And that’s it!
Summary
Copilot saves your conversation history by default. This lets you access past chats on any device where you’re signed in. If you prefer more privacy, you can turn this feature off in the app’s settings. Turning it off stops your history from syncing across your devices and disables the personalization feature.
